Punters who visit the new Wetherspoons pub in Spain may find themselves paying higher prices compared to their local establishments. While the menu items and beverages remain reasonably priced, they generally exceed the costs found at the chain’s regular high street locations.
The management explains that the increased prices are due to the higher operating expenses associated with running pubs in airport settings. They emphasize that the pricing at the Spanish pub is in line with what customers would find at their existing airport and railway station sites in the UK.
For instance, a substantial breakfast in Spain is priced at 10.25 euros (£8.84), while the average cost for the same meal in the UK is only £5.09.
To provide a comparison, the Mirror conducted a price analysis of various items at the Wetherspoons pub in Alicante versus those at their Solihull pub in the West Midlands and at Gatwick Airport. It’s important to note that some products differ in size and ingredients, which complicates direct price comparisons.
Here are a few examples of the items compared:
– Margherita pizza
– All day brunch
– Classic burger
– Chicken, eggs, and beans
– Pint of Stella Artois
– Asahi beer
– Pint of Greene King Abbot Ale
– Guinness 0.0
– Coca Cola/Pepsi (398ml)
